Something random that's been on my mind the last couple of days:

!! Obviously contains season 3 & 4 spoilers !!

Regarding the Curse of Anchesenamon;

In the series, they never mention the year/date of when the Van Den Berg's discovered her tomb. For some reason, I've always assumed that it happened after Ewout Winsbrugge-Hennengouwen found Tutankhamun's tomb.

So, recently I was skimming through the books and stumbled upon a year.

Turns out that the discovery of Anchesenamon's tomb happened 200 years prior to the events of season 3 (2009). A good century before Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Ewout & Co.

Before I get into the short main point and reason for this post, let's put down some historical & canon facts :

▪︎The West's fascination and interest in Egypt started with Napoleon's Campaign into Egypt and Syria, around the years 1798 - 1801. (historical)

▪︎Anchesenamon's tomb discovered in around 1809. (canon)

▪︎Tutankhamun's tomb discovered in 1922. (historical and canon)

▪︎Stone tablet about the legend of Tutankhamun and his secret lover, Amneris, found in 1929. (canon)

Moving on!

It's disputed in the real world whether Amneris really existed or not, seeing as how little to nothing can be found about her in historical records.

And so, if we bring that information over into the series, it's safe to say that the Van Den Berg family didn't know about her existence, until Ewout Winsbrugge-Hennengouwen found the Stone Tablet 120 years later, in 1929.

Which brings me to the point I've been thinking about:

Anchesenamon had basically send Jacob and Matthijs Van Den Berg on a fool's errand.

She only ever repeated the sentence "Give me the descendant(s) of Amneris", nothing else. Never said who Amneris even is, or why she wants her descendants dead. Just that one sentence.

So, imagine their utter confusion for the next century. Searching in vain for any bit of info on who Amneris is. How damn desperate they must have been.

LOVE their dedication to saving a person they care about.
